Lib and I headed to her favorite breakfast and coffee spot, Essential Bakery. The vanilla lattes were a perfect combination of vanilla sweetness contrasted with a slight bitter taste of the coffee. 
Anyone who knows me knows that I love cycling and I love prosciutto. I couldn’t resist ordering an egg, prosciutto and white cheddar cheese sandwich. It was on a light sourdough bread and was absolutely heavenly. I enjoyed my sandwich too much to notice what Lib was eating. We finished and headed to more appointments for the day; unfortunately the ouchy back continued. After the appointments I took a little (actually long) nap, driving through Seattle was exhausting. 
Steven came home from work and it was time to load up the bikes for some mountain biking. We drove to the outskirts of Seattle to Duthie Hill for an introductory ride. I had Lib’s mountain bike which boasts dual suspension, 29 inch wheels, and a drop seat. We rode Bootcamp trail which is winding, has nice banks, and some big tree roots. We decided to do a different route called Deuces Wild. At the top of the course I stopped to allow a women’s mountain bike camp to go past me. The group of about 15 women said I should go first- apparently geared out in my Black Sheep Velo kit and Lib’s mountain bike I look significantly faster than I am. Steven let them all know this was my first day on a mountain bike and the head of the camp looked at me and said “well, then we’ll all be cheering for you!” I went screaming down the trail. It was awesome. It was smooth with deep banks that allowed you to gain a lot of speed. It was so much fun, I had to do it again and again and, of course, a fourth time.
We returned back to the home front for some pad thai with Libby and Dwyer. They introduced me to virtual reality with the android phone. Mind. Blown.
